All health and disability care services will operate as normal where possible under alert level two, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says.
Though like level 3 and 4, GP and community service consultations should be done over the phone or via video call if possible.
More non-urgent surgeries will be able to take place in both private and public hospitals. At the same time, urgent and semi-urgent elective surgeries will resume.
Director general of health Ashley Bloomfield said, as we move to alert level 2, we will have further guidance around visitor policies.
"It won't be back to situation normal, it will be based on the same principles as every other setting with physical distancing and making sure that there is good hygiene."
